nsubj:x: controlling subject (enhanced dependency)
nsubj:x is an Enhanced dependency which distinguishes subjects of controlled verbs as described in Controlled/raised subjects section of the Enhanced Dependencies documentation and in xcomp.

Naming
This relation is sometimes called nsubj:xsubj (like in Schuster and Manning, 2016) as a legacy from times when xsubj was a separate relation.
